HISTORY: A house on this site called "Cuddick" (the old name
for Currock) is shown on Greenwoods Map of Cumberland, 1823.
The Carlisle Journal (1934), suggests a "late Georgian" date
and Robert Cowen of "Currick" is listed in Pigot & Co's 1828-9
Directory, but the Cumberland News (1984) gives 1842 as its
building date; however, it would appear that the property
called "Currick" on the 1841 census is this house, occupied by
William Carruthers and his wife Sarah. Estate was purchased by
the City Council for new housing in 1932 and stables partially
demolished to provide stone for the extension of Eden Bridge.
In 1934 it became a community centre and for a short period
was the YHA hostel for Carlisle.

1828-1829; Cumberland News: 28 September 1984).
